India Make Three Changes for Third ODI Against Afghanistan in ChennaiPreviousNext

India made three changes for the third ODI against Afghanistan at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium, resting Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, and KL Rahul. Prasidh Krishna, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Harsh Dubey were included as India aimed to experiment despite having already secured the series with a 2-0 lead. Afghanistan made four changes and chose to bat first after winning the toss, seeking to avoid a series whitewash in the final match.
